Bouteilles à la Mer

‘Dégustation’ stroll amongst the vines

Whilst ‘terroir’ describes the characteristics of the land from which grapes are grown, giving the wine that unique quality specific to that growing site, ‘aquaoir’ is the concept that oceans might also age wine to give its own set of unique characteristics.

Bottles and sea? Two of our favourite things! Go along and give it a try!

And once you’ve worked up an appetite walking through the coastal vines, enjoy a sea-inspired lunch prepared by a «Toques Blanches du Roussillon» chef at l’Air du Mas, with live music to round off the visit.

49€ (includes a taster kit, tastings from 8 local vineyards and meal).

Programme

From 5pm, stroll through the vines and meet wine producers from 10 local vineyards, tasting not only the wines immersed for 8 months in oyster trays 3 metres below the sea, but also their other vintages too.

Not only is the taste something to marvel, but the sea-aged bottles themselves are veritable works of art!

As you stroll and taste, sample 5 delicious apéro dishes, prepared by Toque Blanche du Roussillon chef, Ruben Gomez:

• Pan con tomate and Iberian ham
• Verrine of chive, cucumber and salmon
• Mackerel rillette and rice crisps
• Basil gazpacho
• Truffle brie on gingerbread

You can also take part in an escape game to find Captain Grenache’s treasure before finally, in the early evening, head to the Berber tent for a gourmet meal.

On the menu: fillet of fish cooked on a Japanese barbecue, seasonal vegetables and a crumble of blue crab with bisque, followed by the Catalan mel y mato (fresh cheese topped with honey) and crispy roasted apricot with rosemary.

This wonderful evening will be set against a backdrop of sparkling sea and mangnificent mountains, and accompanied by a live DJ.
